High fever, chills, feeling unwell and tired, body aches, headaches… Do these symptoms remind you of anything? Have they ever confined you to bed? So, you have probably already contracted the flu in the past, an illness which is far from benign and which you could do without this winter!
Every year, at the same season, we remind you: to protect yourself and those around you, there is nothing like getting vaccinated and respecting the hygiene measures (wash your hands, use a disposable tissue, stay home when you are sick, etc.). This advice is particularly applicable to more fragile people (chronically ill people, pregnant women, elderly people, etc.), in whom complications from the flu can be serious (pneumonia, bronchitis and bronchiolitis), or even fatal. The flu can also make certain chronic illnesses worse, such as diabetes.
From vaccine to vaccination, in pharmacy
Did you know you can get the vaccine directly from your pharmacistwithout a prescription from your doctor? In addition, the vaccine is largely reimbursed if you belong to one of the risk groups (people aged over 65, people with a serious chronic illness, pregnant women, people with a BMI >35, people working in the health sector… ) or if you are between 50 and 65 years old.
You can have the vaccine administered not only at your general practitioner, but also at a pharmacy.
